Community of Practice for organizations implementing cultural competence and reconciliation

Health and mental health organizations across Canada are committed to doing their part for reconciliation. But what does that look like? It probably involves a number of areas of improvement and change, and each organization will start from a different place. Most organizations likely address the following areas of improvement and change: build the capacity of employees for cultural competence, build effective relationships with local Indigenous communities and partner organizations, adapt organizational processes to be more inclusive of Indigenous knowledge and Indigenous employees, increase cultural safety for Indigenous clients, and practice the art of being an ally for Indigenous wellbeing and inclusion.

The IRG is planning to offering a structured Community of Practice for organizations to continue on their reconciliation journey, based in change management principles. The details have not yet been confirmed, but expect to see a year-long process to learn about organizational cultural competence and change management, organizational cultural competence, the role of ally, and more. It’s an opportunity to share lessons learned as an organizational leader, and learn from leaders across Canada on similar journeys.
